mode on the screen refers to dual rates not real mode one and two. If the throttle is on the left you have a mode 2 controller.

Hello everyone, I'm kinda new here, but i love my X1! I'm waiting on parts to come in now so i can fix it and fly it some more. I had just told me flying buddies the day before the the x1 was "In de structible" (3 words!). As it turns out, it's not In de structible, it's only crash proof. A 2-liter bottle of Diet Pepsi carreening and probly flipping across the back of my Jeep then smashin down on the lil copter, on a fast left turn will wreck a gear shaft. In relation to the above post: On my Tx it shows an H or an L on the screen for Hi and Low rates that are changed by the left bumper button. The Mode 1 or Mode 2 on the screen refers to which mode u have the tx in. When it says Mode 1 on the screen it's actually in mode 2 as we know it whereas the left stick is throttle and rudder and the right stick is ail. and ele. or cyclic in copter speak. If u turn the Tx off, and hold the aileron trim button to the right (or right cyclic trim) when u turn it back on it will toggle it to Mode 2 on the screen. This is not, however, what we know as a traditional mode 2 opperation as this was allready covered with mode 1 on the screen. When it says mode 2 on the screen it's actually what i think they call mode 4, whereas the left stick is throttle and aileron and the right stick is elevator and rudder. Everyone I know flys mode 2 (Mode 1 on X1 controller) and i can't see any reason to do it any other way. From what i understand a lot of
"Europeans" fly mode 1, which makes no sense to me, but that's thier deal. I have no idea who fly's mode 4 (Syma Mode 2). The only thing i can imagine is that it makes it easier for people who have learned to fly 3Ch helis, like the Syma S107, to make the transition to 4Ch control, but IMHO it just teaches them to fly wrong. Idk, lol, that's my take on it.
Cheers! Happy landings!

That's not quite true, ArrowHead. In the context of this X1 model, it has high rate, low rate, mode 1, and mode 2. High rate and low rate is self explanatory. Mode 1 in X1 context means right stick controls the aileron and left stick controls rudder. Mode 2 is the reverse, rudder is controlled by right stick, and aileron by left stick. These are all in X1 context.

In the general RC terminology, X1's mode 1, is Mode 2 flying; and its mode 2 is Mode 4 flying. At any rate, modes has nothing to do with rates.

In the X1 Tx display, it actually has "L" for low rate, "H" for high rate, "MODE 1" and "MODE 2".

Dang... Aint that what i said? lmao. His Tx must be diff. from mine and yours

It's okay. At my age, I get mixed up all the time. It could be just a simple slip or a senior moment. And don't forget, there ARE different versions of X1 Rx/Tx out there. I might only be representing the current version.

I understand it's possible to bind my turnigy 9x tx to the x1- I have a Fsky DJT module set up-I don't suppose the x1 will bind to the Frsky module in the 9x will it or is it a completely different protocol? Thanks in advance
